for movement or settling, 4) Maybe most important because it's so hard to correct...the grading at and around the house.

From my experience working with over 400 investors, I’d recommend starting with house hacking—ideally a fourplex if you find a good deal, but a duplex works too.

My preferred options are:1. house-hack with a duplex under ARV; live in one unit => renovate => rent the other unit2. buy a SFH under ARV that could be converted into a duplex (preferably adjacent units vs top/bottom) - I'm assuming the biggest challenge with this strategy would be separating the infrastructure for utilities; and costly.

Or find a deal first then market it to buyers, then offer on the house and create an agreement with the seller & buyer?
